Lawrence: "You don't have to have a million dollars to do nothing; look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do ****!"

Same with the list of 10 sexiest. They listed companies, not cars.
You are thinking into this way to much. It was just something I found funny and thought I would post it up.

To sum it all up
Top 10 Least Sexy Cars

1. Citroen 2CV
2. Reliant Robin
3. Skoda
4. Lada
5. Trabant
6. Rover
7. Lexus
8. Ford Mondeo
9. Daewoo
10. Hyundai
I have to disagree with that personally...... That's some pretty horrendous company in that '10 least sexy cars' Although it should read car companies as for the most part......only the auto maker is listed....not the actual model of car or suv. At least Lexus came in below Lada!

I believe Lexus was picked as unsexy because they were using the Lexus IS200.
That article is sloppily written and should be banned from the internet.
Stupid Brits!

Was totally kidding.
And am still convinced that article didn't receive much thought.
You can't put in an automaker when the survey was for one specific car.

Hey man, I think the new Skodas are nice!
They're basically all VW rebadges now, so they don't suck much more than the "source" cars.
